Is there a connection between magnetic storms and poor health: the doctor gave the answer
Science disproves the myth about the impact of magnetic storms on human health

There is a widespread belief in Ukrainian society that magnetic storms and sudden weather changes negatively affect people's health, causing headaches, fatigue, blood pressure surges, and other health problems. However, science refutes these myths. This was stated by neurologist and evidence-based medicine doctor Iryna Sovych, according to Hromadske Radio.

Magnetic storms do not harm our body

Iryna Sovych, a neurologist and evidence-based medicine doctor, notes that magnetic storms have no effect on the nervous system, cardiovascular system, joints, blood pressure, emotional state, and other aspects of human health.

This statement is supported by scientific studies that have found no connection between the Sun's magnetic activity and the deterioration of people's health.

Weather changes are not the cause of health problems either

A sudden change in temperature, humidity, and light can have some effect on the body, for example, provoke a migraine. However, this is not the cause of these problems; it can only slightly aggravate an existing condition. It's important to remember that there is no evidence-based diagnosis of "weather addiction."

Pay attention to other factors that harm your health

In fact, our well-being is much more affected by factors such as:

  • Lack of sleep
  • Fatigue
  • Stress
  • Unhealthy diet
  • Bad habits
  • Chronic diseases

How to improve your health?

Instead of blaming magnetic storms and weather changes for your problems, focus on improving your lifestyle:

  • Get enough sleep
  • Keep an active lifestyle
  • Eat a healthy diet
  • Avoid stress
  • Give up bad habits
  • Consult a doctor if you have chronic health problems.
